Wishing to be heard was Terry Driscoll, 1403 Fourth avenue S.W. Mr. Driscoll noted that he was concerned about the increase in traffic due to the project and also the increased noise problem that would be heard. He stated that the semi trucks now load and unload especially during the evening hours at Crossroads and additional truck traffic would only compound the problem. Wishing to be heard was Dan Berndt, 505 Marquette Bank Building, representing the applicant. Mr. Berndt noted the background of the land and of the projects that were north of the property in question. He also noted that the project falls under the criteria for a community shopping center under the Land Use Manual. Mr. Berndt stated that they believe that a projected moving of the intersection now exiting off Highway 14 to the west to Fourth Avenue S.W. will be a vast improvement on the traffic flow. Wishing to be heard was Bill Tointon, McGhie & Betts. Mr. Tointon spoke to the traffic study and plan and the additional buffering around the project to lower noise levels. Wishing to be heard was David Braslau, David Braslau Associates, 1313 Fifth Street S.E., Minneapolis.

Wishing to be heard was Katharine Moore, 1521 Fourth Avenue S.W., wondering why no buffering on the south if there is to be buffering on the east side. Wishing to be heard was Bill Tointon, McGhie & Betts, noting that there is a proposal for a buffer on the south side. Wishing to be heard was Terry Maus, O'Brien Law Firm, 611 Marquette Bank Building, representing Rainbow Foods and not the owners of the Crossroads Shopping Center.

Mr. Maus also spoke of the consequential moving of � 4812 RECORD OF OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA Regular Meeting No. 26 - November 4, 1996 Agenda Item the Highway 14 entrance on the west side of Rainbow and how that would impact Rainbow and the other clients of Crossroads Shopping Center. The parent company of Rainbow Foods is Fleming Company. Wishing to be heard was Dave Patterson, 1545 Fourth Avenue S.W., opposing the project and the moving of the intersection to Fourth Avenue. He said that the traffic at present on Fourth Avenue is low but if the intersection is moved, it will become a shortcut from 16th Street to Highway 14. He is not opposed to commercial usage but there are two large grocery stores in the area already and he cannot see the need for another. Wishing to be heard was Jim Benshoof, Traffic Engineer, Benshoof and Associates, Edina, Minnesota. A comprehensive traffic analysis of this project has been developed by his firm and stated that he would provide further information if so requested. Wishing to be heard was Terry Spaeth, Planning Department. He noted that the existing site of the Office 1 Superstore was rezoned B-4 and the Land Use Plan was amended in 1986 to reflect that change. There was also an amendment in 1988 that encompassed this property and some of the property being discussed to the south. In 1986 the property in question was treated as a part of a larger commercial area which included the Crossroads Center and also the Apache area. Terry Adkins, City Attorney, addressed the Council as to the legal requirements for sending notices to property owners affected by proposed land use changes. He stated that Section 60.630 of the Rochester Code of Ordinances requires a notice to be sent to the addresses listed on the County's real property tax records. The ordinance also states that the name of any person whose adddress is not listed on the County's tax record is not entitled to receive notice. Mr. Adkins stated that the Planning and Zoning staff found one address on the County's tax record (which is the same tax record Mr. Maus displayed to the Council). The address is for Fleming Company and is P.O. Box 26647, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Planning and Zoning Department sent notice to Fleming Company at the stated address. The name "Woodmen of the World" appears on the tax record, but no address is provided. The ordinance, however, does allow the Council to continue the hearing for at least ten days if the Council believes the continuance is needed to allow Woodmen of the World to participate in the proceeding. Councilmembers McConnell moved, Stobaugh seconded, to continue the hearing to November 18th, 1996, to allow Woodmen of the World to participate in the public hearing. Ayes (7), Nays (0).
